New Perpetual Lettuce. 
This is a distinct variety, not heading as some do ; but forming 
huge, compact bushes, where room is given. Its exquisite quality 
constitutes its superior point of merit. For private use it is espec- 
ially adapted, as only one sowing is necessary for the whole season. 
It remains up to the time of seeding of just the same quality for 
eating as at any time before. It is particularly adapted to the 
South, where it is so difficult to obtain good Lettuce, as it will 
stand the summer heat equally as well as the cool weather of spring. 
All those who have found any difficulty in growing Lettuce, on 
account of running up to seed early, will find in this variety a gem. 
Price per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 30 cts. ; 1-4 lb., St. 00. 
Oak Leaved Lettuce. 
The distinguishing features of this new variety of lettuce 
is in its oak-shaped leaves, the broader part set to the stem and 
pointed to the tip, thus giving it a very unique, handsome and 
attractive appearance, which is retained during all stages of its 
growth. The leaves are of a light green color, slightly crim- 
pled or curled, set very close and forming a head as compact as 
the peculiar shape of the leaf will permit. It is free from 
coarse stems, has no bitterness of taste ; is possessed of fine 
flavor and extreme tenderness. When heads are forming, the 
leaves inside assume a whitish color. It is slowest of any in 
running to seed, in fact, will remain in head for a month before 
its shoots appear. These shoots arc in turn covered with small 
leaves as delicate and tender as those on young plants. This 
lettuce will, without doubt, prove itself very desirable. Price 
per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 30 cts. ; 1-4 lb., $1.00. 
Golden Heart Lettuce. 
This variety produces a head of very large size, firm and 
solid, as shown in the illustration. It grows quickly, is ready 
for use early, and continues to remain in excellent condition for 
weeks. It does not wilt under severe heat, and for summer 
use is superior to nearly all other varieties of cabbage lettuce. 
Outer leaves dark green color, delicatel y curled ; within the 
heart is a beautiful, rich, golden yellow; quality excellent. 
Price per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 30 cts.; 1-4 lb., $.100.

Dear Sir: — I call your Peerless Early cabbage an “all sea- 
sons ” cabbage. I had some last harvest that weighed 25 and 
28 pounds, a notice of which appeared in our paper. I raised 
over 8000 the past season, of Brunswick, Stone Mason, Win- 
ningstadt, Deephead, and Filderkraut, but Peerless keeps as 
well as any. I have to-day, Peerless that has been trimmed a 
number of times, weighing 16 pounds. Yours truly, 
O. KIMBALL.
